Six Leeds-based dance organisations have come together to showcase Leeds as the number one city for dance in the UK outside London. Balbir Singh Dance Company, Northern Ballet, Northern School of Contemporary Dance, Phoenix Dance Theatre, RJC Dance and Yorkshire Dance have created a new dance map which aims to show how Leeds is a City of Dance.

Northern Ballet and Phoenix Dance Theatre’s new home in central Leeds has won a second award in the space of only a week. On Friday 11 November it was awarded the 2011 Civic Building of the Year award by the Society of Chief Architects for Local Authorities (SCALA). The award was made jointly to Jacobs Architecture, for Northern Ballet and Phoenix Dance Theatre, and Stanton Williams for Wiltshire Council Offices.
